On the other side:
Fu Chen threw his phone hard on the table, his gaze dark and his teeth clenched as if he was about to shatter them. One thought spiraled in his mind: He was foolish enough to be deceived by Gu Chuyi!
What business trip to France? Nonsense! During this time, he couldn’t eat or sleep, and his mind was restless. Fu Chen let out a cold laugh.
That smile was chilling!
As a top celebrity in the country, the girls chasing after him lined up from Yanjing to France. He never lacked women, but somehow, he only had eyes for Gu Chuyi.
Once a one-night stand turned into a proper relationship, how could she simply forget the happy days they shared?
That woman was truly heartless. Fu Chen's mind was a mess. He wished he could pin her to the bed and demand to know if she really intended to act like it never happened after pulling up her pants.
The more he thought about it, the more painful it became. Facing his first relationship crisis, he miserably headed to the liquor cabinet and poured himself a drink to drown his sorrows.
"Son, why are you drinking so late at night?" Fu's mother had just returned from a mahjong game with her friends and saw Fu Chen drinking, his face heavy with worry.
"It's nothing... just something trivial." Fu Chen responded lightly, his tone flat.
"Really?" His mother frowned, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said, "Just a little, don’t drink too much; it’s bad for your health." Inwardly, she was conflicted. Lately, Fu Chen had been in high spirits, looking like a man in love, even though he hadn't said anything. A mother knows her son, and she could tell without asking.
But recently, he'd become gloomy and withdrawn again. She guessed he was having some kind of disagreement with a girl, maybe just a misunderstanding.
Thinking this, Fu's mother smiled and said, "Son, you've grown up now. I trust you can handle everything just fine. Hang in there."
Fu Chen, who had been tilting his head back to drink, paused for a moment at her words and, after a while, said, "Mm, thanks, Mom."
"Silly boy, you've always been my pride. When you were in school, you always came first and made me proud in front of the neighbors. Now, you're a big star, and my friends are almost dying of jealousy. I'm so glad to have such an excellent son." Fu Chen smiled lightly and kissed her on the cheek. "Good night, Mom."
"Mm, good night. Don’t drink too much." With that, she turned and went back to her room, leaving Fu Chen alone in the vast living room. Silence fell, and the light cast a layer of frost over his face.
For a long time, a thought grew in his mind. He picked up his phone, his slender fingers tapping decisively.
Gu Chuyi’s name slid into the blacklist. He unfollowed her on Weibo and every social platform.
From now on, their paths would go their separate ways.
People need self-awareness. Since Gu Chuyi was avoiding him, there was no need for him to cling desperately. If others found out he was being a "simp," where would his pride go?
Simping never ends well, so he made a decision—to unilaterally announce their breakup!
The action of blacklisting her was smooth and quick. He put away his phone, turned, and walked back to his room.
Meanwhile, Gu Chuyi was lounging in her cozy bed as usual, surfing the web. She had a habit of checking Fu Chen’s social media every day.
Fu Chen had no concept of the word "low-profile." He had an overwhelming need to express himself and loved posting updates.
Gu Chuyi opened his WeChat Moments, and her eyes froze. What was going on? Why was there only a blank line? No reason—could it be...?
Gu Chuyi's sixth sense flared, and a bad feeling flashed through her mind. She exited the Moments and opened Fu Chen’s chat window.
Hesitating for a moment, she began typing a message, deleted it, typed again, and then deleted it once more.
After repeating this several times, Gu Chuyi bit her lip, stomped her foot, and sent a punctuation mark with her eyes closed.
As expected, the glaring red dot on the screen confirmed her worst fears—she had been blacklisted by Fu Chen...
Gu Chuyi’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. After just a few months, they couldn't even make it through the tough times. The game had barely started, and it was already over.
Their relationship had come to an end. Their love wasn’t as strong as she thought. It felt like her soul had been drained from her body.
A trace of regret surfaced in her heart. If she hadn’t agreed to her manager’s request back then, could she have been living a sweet and loving life with Fu Chen now?
Lost in thought, Gu Chuyi pulled the blanket over her head, burying herself beneath it. Only when she found it hard to breathe did she finally poke her head out.
The next day.
Gu Chuyi appeared in front of Luo Wei with dark circles under her eyes.
"What happened to you? Did you go robbing last night?" Luo Wei stared at her wide-eyed, full of confusion.
"No," Gu Chuyi replied weakly with a single word.
Luo Wei knocked on her head lightly. "Look at your dark circles; they're worse than a panda's." She tutted twice and said helplessly, "Is this about Fu Chen?"
The moment Gu Chuyi heard Fu Chen’s name, it was like she had been injected with adrenaline. Her eyes sparkled, but she quickly concealed it. "Fu Chen and I are done," she said, enunciating each word.
"Done?" Luo Wei raised an eyebrow, calmly analyzing, "Didn't you avoid him for his own good? But when I think about it, I do feel like what you did was a bit cruel. Not knowing the truth, he probably thinks you don’t like him, so you avoided rejecting him out of politeness."
"Do normal people really think like that?" Gu Chuyi asked.
Luo Wei nodded, her gaze sincere.
Tears welled up in Gu Chuyi's eyes. She was suffering in silence, feeling the bitterness of her situation. "Kill me now! My brief romance couldn't withstand even a little wind."
Luo Wei let out a long sigh and said comfortingly, "Try not to be too sad. Maybe you should consider chasing him instead?" She flashed a mischievous smile.
"Chase him?" Gu Chuyi blinked and thought for a few seconds before scoffing, "Pff, girls chasing after guys? That's embarrassing, okay? Especially now that Fu Chen has blocked me on every platform and unfollowed me. It's like he vanished from my world." Gu Chuyi slumped to the ground, feeling wronged, the wedding dress she was holding slipping from her hands. Clearly, she wasn't in the mood to design wedding dresses today.
"Chuyi, how about... I go talk to Fu Chen?" Luo Wei hesitated for a few seconds before suggesting.
Gu Chuyi jumped up in shock, immediately cutting her off. "Absolutely not! If you talk to him, I'll lose all my dignity. No woman should lower herself that much." Luo Wei was speechless for a moment, then said seriously, "Alright, but if you need help, you know where to find me."
Suddenly, a cool, deep voice came from behind them.
"Gu Chuyi, caught you slacking off again." Mo Huai approached, holding little Yueyi. He had just paid a million yuan for Gu Chuyi’s design fees and didn’t expect to find her leisurely chatting away. His face darkened. How could Gu Chuyi design a wedding dress seriously if she was being so careless? How would Weiwei become the most beautiful bride in the world?
Gu Chuyi immediately scowled and rolled her eyes. "Mo dog, can I ask you something?" Mo Huai's face twitched, and a shadow briefly flickered in his eyes before he suppressed it, responding coldly, "Spit it out."
"Did your cousin have a genetic mutation or something? Why does he block people at the drop of a hat?" Mo Huai felt three black lines form on his forehead, while Luo Wei’s jaw dropped in surprise.
It seemed someone had fallen deeply in love without even realizing it.
